- An Aindir Dheas DhonnSí an aindir deas donn chuir an tinneas im cheann
Is d’fhág gan meabhair, gan céill mé
Gur gile í ar a com ná a’ sneachta ar a bhonn
Ná an eala ar an abhainn bhig bradinig
N’fheadar cad é an fáth gur tugas-sa grádh
Dod’ fuaimín atá deas néata
Is gur thugas an bárr leat le méinn agus le bréagacht
Ó mnáibh deasa áluinn na h-Éireann.11.
Do dhearc mé aríst gur deas a gnaoí
Is a mala ba caoile bréagtha
Ar an am do bhí do lag do lag mo chroidhe
Le gean dá chuacaibh bána,
A leaca bhí ar dath an aoil is an dearg tré na gaire
Go bonn go dtéidheadh a leabhar folt réidh
Is a com ba caoile an t-árus111.
Sé mo chreach is mo chás gan mise is mo ghrádh
Ar leabaidh go lá in ár ár n-aonar
Is an t-Aifreann dhá rádh go ciúin agus go tláth
Is gan neart ag ár namhaid sin a réidhteach
Á spéir-bhean bhreágh na leabhair cró m-bán
D’fhágais-se m’ínntínn buartha
Is gur míle fearr lem’ chroidhe thú fhághailt
Ná’n ríoghacht is í fhághailt mar dhualgas(continues on next page)
